I really have no desire to do that.  I don't find that a particularly
useful compromise position for commands; a registry just doesn't contain
enough information to ensure interoperability, and without that, what's
the point?

The NNTP implementation community is fairly good at communication.  I
don't anticipate a lot of unexpected stepping-on.
